CITY COUNCIL MEETING, NOVEMBER 3, 1982 ®' 16. ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: H. Fire Department Bonus continued - Firemen would like to finance this themselves and could ask the two eligible retirees to defer payment of their pension by taking their pension + bonus in three payments (over 3 years). --Fraser - would like to see the bonus/pension plan outlined on a chart. --Eder - recommended that bonus' be deferred until January 1, 1984. This would allow the firemen to pay the pensions eli4ible in 1983.and provide time to secure the additional funds for the bonus plan. Whittaker will present this proposal to the firemen and bring the final draft of the by-laws to the November 16 meeting for approval. I. Reid Park Grant - T e City received notice of grant approval for Reid Park. $13,000 was approved for trail and parking area development. --Fraser - questioned why tH�e ballfield was not included as this was the principal im rovement that the residents around the park wanted. --Whittaker - the money was appropriated from.the Trail Fund, therefore, the ballfield could not be included. Council was notified of this change before final. -grant application was made. --Fraser,- does._not feel it appropriate to take money and make improvements not wanted by the residents and not do what they want done. 8. PUBLIC HEARING - PHILIP TAYLOR - SHORELAND PERMIT & VARIANCE: Mayor Eder reopened the public hearing at 8:00 p.m. Mr. Taylor was present. No other residents were present for the hearing.

Mr. Taylor is proposing to construct a deck along the lake side and the south _side of his existing home. A shoreland permit and three variances are requested. 1. Variance from Shoreland Regulation to construct a deck within 55 feet of highwater mark where 100 ft is required. 2. Variance from Zoning Ordinance to construct a wood box within 5 feet of the side yard property line where 10 feet is required. 3. Variance from Zoning Ordinance to construct a portion of the deck within 8 feet of the side yard property line where 10 feet is required.
